"Located in the heart of Little Brazil, I dined here with a friend for dinner. The interior is lovely, vibrant, colorful with a welcoming atmosphere. There were white table cloths and pretty pink flowers on the table, giving the place an elegant touch. Of course we had to get the cheese bread, which was excellent. Sticky, strong cheesy flavor, still warm, and perfect little tasty morsels! For my entree, I ordered the Grande sampler meat platter, which included strip steak, Brazilian sausage, pork chop, as well as chicken. This was served with rice and beans, along with yucca flour and pico de gallo. I think my favorite was the steak, which was nice and tender, as well as packed with flavor. The Brazilian sausage was wonderfully juicy, succulent, and had just the right chewy consistency. The pork chop was also tasty, and was very well seasoned. The chicken was probably my least favorite, because I'm not normally impressed by it. This chicken was decent and was pleasantly soft, but a little on the bland side. The rice was perfectly cooked and usually I'm not really a fan of beans, but paired with the rice, it was pretty good. I also enjoyed the yucca flour mix, which had a sandy consistency, along with raisins and veggies. This was a nice blend, especially eaten together with the pico de gallo and meats. The pico de gallo added a lovely fresh, slightly crunchy element to the meal. For dessert, my friend and I shared the Doce de Leite com Queijo, which was Dulce de Leche with Brazilian white cheese. This was a very simple, yet delicious preparation of pure, sweet, rich, milky, deeply caramely, and irresistibly smooth Dulce de leche. The white cheese was mild and dipped with Dulce de Leche made for mouthwatering bites. Service was wonderful throughout. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Also, the prices are pretty reasonable, especially considering the midtown area and proximity to Times Square. I would be open to returning and would like one of the seafood dishes, such as the Fresh Pollock and Shrimp."
